Another thing to note, is that there are currently only 7 pitchers in the 2019 class that remain uncommitted that have  touched 90 or 91.  No one that has 92 or more has remained uncommitted.  Most all of these kids committed to D1 baseball programs.

 

You raise a really good point -- throwing harder will give Chico's kid a lot more options.

I checked PG and they show 28 RHPs at 90 or higher who are uncommitted. Here's another interesting data point: in the 2019 class there are only 171 RHPs in PG's database who have touched 90 or higher.* And only 24 LHPs. So 205 total. Those numbers will rise when the 17U WWBA data gets published, and throughout the fall, but it will probably only be 350-450.** Maybe some others never do a PG event, but still, 1000 or more RHPs will go D1 each year, so clearly not everyone is touching 90 as a rising HS senior. 

*of the 143 that are committed, 1 is committed to a JUCO -- the other 142 are committed to a D1 program

**Edited to add: for the 2018 class, pitchers who have touched 90 or higher in the PG database total 387 RHPs and 74 LHPs, and for the 2017 class it's 294 RHPs and 52 LHPs
